Welcome to THP Chelmsford

Chartered Accountants

THP Chelmsford Office

If you live in Chelmsford or have paid it a visit in the last year, you will notice that it has changed beyond all recognition. In 2012 Chelmsford was finally awarded “city” status and since then it seems determined to prove that its promotion was well deserved.

That scruffy looking car park in the centre has been replaced by a shiny new state-of-the-art John Lewis department store surrounded by brand new retail units occupied by many well-known brands. The new “Everyman” cinema is also worth a mention being one of those new small intimate jobbies with sofas. There are also some nice new eateries such as Bills and Cote Brasserie for you to sample whilst you are here.

Located just a stone’s throw from all this new development, in Springfield Road, is THP Chelmsford.

Not to be outdone, we have been busily upgrading our offices as well and THP Chelmsford is now a very pleasant place to come to. What’s more, it has an excellent car park for visitors with loads of space so you can even avoid getting those annoying dings in your car door.

Our Chelmsford team like to think they are our most friendly and helpful of all and when you encounter the lovely, helpful Sarah beaming at you from behind her desk at reception it’s hard to disagree.

The professional accounts and bookkeeping team at Chelmsford is also the go-to place for advice on Cloud based accounting. Our team know all the ins and outs about the most popular cloud accounting packages such as Xero and Freeagent and will not only be able to tell you which is best for you but also help you set it all up.

Our Key Services

Your accounts – the mainstay of your accounting services with THP

For years accountants reveled in the fact that they’re the experts, portraying the mystery of accountancy like the Wizard of Oz – lots of smoke and confusion, but now we know it’s just a little man turning the knobs behind the curtain.

Yes, you could just read up on the vast reams of HMRC material and figure it out yourself. Cloud accounting has taken away the mystery, and you can do the basics of accounting on your own.

But is that what you really want ? To become an accountant yourself ?

If you’d rather focus your time where it matters, then THP provides the expert advice of a friendly, helpful accountant who can make what you want happen. It’s just like magic, but without the mystery.

See the full financial picture in the cloud

Use cloud accounting software – Xero or FreeAgent – to get more efficient advice about how to use your finances, and access your whole financial picture from any angle, any time of the day or night.

Save time : Automatic bank reconciliations

Get cash : Send online invoices

Claim expenses : Use the app

Instant budget reports : No more waiting for once a month

It’s not just about tax returns – we are with you for life

The need for a tax return is often the first trigger to searching for an accountant. And naturally we can churn out personal and corporate tax returns as easy as breathing.

And if your life and business expand, so that you need far more than just a tax return, we’re there to give you our perspective on the opportunities and possibilities available to you.

We will…

Explore your full financial situation, both personal and business

Help you understand the numbers within your tax return

Assist you in planning for upcoming tax payments

Provide tax planning so you make the most of what’s available to you

Assist you in planning for upcoming tax payments

Because our goal is to know you as a person, to whom the numbers and the boxes and the money mean something real.

Tax planning helps ensure that you’re getting the life you want

The best way to pay less tax is to plan ahead. And with the right tax planning advice from THP, you’ll keep more of your money to enjoy, invest, save or pass on.

For your business, all you may need is a corporate tax return, and naturally we can churn that out. But perhaps your business is doing so well, growing so rapidly that it’s hard for you to see the longer-term picture? That’s when THP gives you a helping hand with the possibilities that we know will affect you – because we listen.

This could include:

Discovering the most efficient tax structure for your business

Ensuring you benefit from tax reliefs relevant to you

Looking for tax opportunities specific to your industry

Helping you time transactions so you reduce tax exposure

Explore your eligibility for research and development tax credits

If it’s personal tax planning you need, we also work with high net worth individuals to help address investment portfolio or inheritance tax issues.

Whether you’re working, in business, or retired, the beauty of our tax planning services is in the care we take in understanding your true situation, and helping you prepare for the life you want.

What can VAT registration do for you ? It could save you money and improve your credibility

VAT returns are another one of those areas you are happy to hand off to your accountant. But it doesn’t have to simply be another box-ticking exercise.

At THP, we look at how VAT integrates with the rest of your business to ensure that you’re getting the greatest possible benefit, such as :

Voluntary VAT registration if your turnover is under the VAT threshold, you might want to register voluntarily for increased credibility and so you can reclaim the VAT back

Combining bookkeeping with VAT so you keep your administration costs down even further
